Day 8: Kiss the Ring

We recommend watching this video in full screen for the best experience.

Kiss the Ring

This song is our first stab at a synth-led song and it gave us a challenge both musically and lyrically. We changed it several times before it was finished, the last time being just a few days before we recorded it. 

Kiss the Ring is, in short, about how social media is causing selfishness and loss of perspective. Trevor, Hugs, and Bethany all wrote these lyrics together after a long period of Bethany having no idea what to write for a synth song. It happens to contain the longest scream to date that she has recorded.

Verse:

One more time I’ll ask your attention, please
I need eyes on me
We can call it a disease
But I need eyes on me
I need eyes on me
I need eyes on me, Your attention, please
I want eyes on me
All eyes here on me

Chorus:

They don’t understand a thing
Asking us to kiss the ring
When will they open their eyes and see?
They take and they take and they take and they take
as we break and we break and we break and we break
Why don’t they take time to bend a knee

Verse:

Let me take some time to apologize
It’s not who I meant to be
You should know I never wanted to
Cause this misery
If you knew what I’ve been through
I know you’d agree
At this time I’ll have your attention, please
And put your eyes on me

Chorus:

They don’t understand a thing
Asking us to kiss the ring
When will they open their eyes and see?
They take and they take and they take and they take
As we break and we break and we break and we break
Why don’t they take time to bend a knee

Bridge:

Whoa
Kiss the Ring
Kiss the Ring
Kiss the Ring
Yeah

Chorus:

They don’t understand a thing
Asking us to kiss the ring
When will they open their eyes and see?
They take and they take and they take and they take
As we break and we break and we break and we break
Why don’t they take time to bend a knee

Synth or no synth?

We try not to rely too heavily on synths, because none of us are keyboardists. Having said that, do you like synth heavy rock songs? Share your opinion down here!
